Today, the corner of 88th Street and West End Avenue will be named "Arturo 'Chico' O'Farrill Place" in honor of the Latin jazz bandleader and composer who died in 2001. O'Farrill's son, also named Arturo O'Farrill, and leader of the Chico O'Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, joins us to talk about this event. Also, Arik Hesseldahl, staff writer at Forbes magazine, comes by to talk about the newest Supreme Court decision on digital music copyrighting. And finally, a visit with Sweet Honey In The Rock, the Grammy Award-winning African American female a cappella ensemble with deep musical roots in gospel, blues, and jazz. They join us to discuss their new documentary "Raise Your Voice," to be shown on Wed at 9pm on the PBS series, American Masters.
